II. Read the following text and choose the correct answer to each question. Write A, B, C or D on the answer sheet.

The army of the Roman Republic was highly organized, and its soldiers were very disciplined. Enemies of Rome believed the key to defeating the Roman army was to cause fear and confusion among its soldiers. To do this, some of Rome's enemies used elephants on the battlefield. As a result, the Romans were forced to come up with effective ways of fighting against the giant animals. One method was very simple. When elephants charged, the Roman soldiers would simply move out of the way and let the charging beasts pass by. In battle, Roman soldiers usually walked shoulder-to-shoulder in a single line.

But they found that if they broke the line, the elephants would charge by, and the soldiers would be out of harm's way.

Another method was more dramatic. The Romans discovered that elephants were afraid of pigs and the squealing sounds pigs made. So sometimes they would pour oil on pigs and set them on fire. The elephants, terrified by the burning pigs and the squealing noises, would turn and run. Some elephants actually trampled the soldiers on their side.

B. They tried to ride the elephants.

C. They tried to set the elephants on fire.
